1. Visit the Temple of Love!

Take a public tour of Untermyer Gardens in Yonkers. Once a lavish 150-acre estate, today, you can take in its walled Persian Gardens, fountains, follies, and Hudson River vistas. Check out the property's work-in-progress renovation of the Temple of Love: An entirely man-made folly perched on a hill and created for a long-ago wedding, it's currently being restored to its original beauty. Ninety minute tours begin at 2 p.m. every Sunday. Go to untermyergardens.org to see the schedule. $10. Tours are free for ages 12 and under. No reservations required. 945 N. Broadway, Yonkers, 914- 512-0436.

2. Taste some wines. At a vineyard. In Rockland.

Visit Torne Valley Vineyards, which hosts all-day wine tastings. Open only on weekends, wine enthusiasts can taste the vineyards offerings on an outdoor patio or indoors at the wine tasting room adorned with wine barrels and rustic charm. Wine tastings are $7. The menu has six white wines and two red wines ranging from $16.95 to $24.95 per bottle and offers simple fare such as panini and salads that complement their wines. 1 Torne Valley Road, Hillburn, 845-712-5505, tornevalleyvineyards.

3. Spend the weekend at Lyndhurst.

No, this National Historic Register property is not offering Airbnb, but there is a full weekend of events planned at the Tarrytown estate and gardens. The Irvington Garden Club Plant Sale takes place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on May 7. Along with tons of green goodies for sale, the gardeners will also share their expertise. At 4 p.m. on Mother's Day, Copland House's pianist Michael Boriskin and Caramoor's former Director Michael Barrett will give a concert in Lyndhurst's entry hall of music from the Gilded Age composed by Georges Bizet, Maurice Ravel, and Claude Debussy. Tickets are $25 for adults, $14 children. Buy tickets at showclix.com. All weekend, you can enjoy treats from Red Barn Bakery, which will sell baked goods, soups, pocket sandwiches and other great treats for a snack or a whole meal. 635 South Broadway, Tarrytown, lyndhurst.org.

4. Dazzle her with lights!

Not Broadway. Lightscapes, Historic Hudson Valley's spring answer to The Blaze, offers jaw-dropping sculpture created to light up at night —and an original sound track. There's a rainbow, a Bubble Tunnel, a “live” Luna Moth creations — some 15 feet tall! — perching high on a hill, flittering around for all to see. You can also check out the underbelly of a giant centipede as you worm your way through its segmented legs. Shows at 8, 8:15 and 9 p.m. Mother's Day. You have to buy tickets in advance at hudsonvalley.org. Adults $20, kids $16.
